MrMoose posted:So, I finally got my Galaxy Note 3 set up. The screen is really nice and I can see the pen being nice and useful. Rooting won't solve the problem of your phone hanging when a rogue app grabs the CPU for a minute. You already have the tools you need to combat the problem with the recent app switcher and a power button that will reboot the phone if you hold it down long enough.

thebushcommander posted:Yes. CES isn't really a new phone showcase. You likely won't see anything newer until after MWC. I would expect a new Galaxy phone around June. Otherwise I think everything that might come out between now and then won't be much of an upgrade over what's currently available. Samsung said March-April, I believe.

CES is like E3 for gadgets. Unless specifics about when a device is coming out you shouldn't count on it happening soon... or ever.

Aphrodite posted:Samsung said March-April, I believe. Yeah, I thought I read that soft sales numbers on the S4 has caused them to move faster on the follow-on. Realistically though I can't imagine you'll get a better bang to buck value than the N5 (in addition to a good phone now) from the S5 or anything else that will turn up at MWC.

I guess I was just thinking it was something on the phone itself, since it happened the morning after I initially set it up. I'll see if it comes back, though. My problem is not really knowing how to tell WHAT app is causing the issue.

The S4 launched simultaneously worldwide, so they'll probably do the same for the 5.

Stock Android question: How do I get the music player to ignore the Ringtone folder?

Twiin posted:My HTC One X+ bit the dust and I'm thinking about picking up a Nexus 5 to replace it. But CES just happened and I figure there might be some new Android phone coming down the pipeline that I should wait for. Is the N5 still a good buy right now? I have a Nexus 5 and love it - wireless charging, great screen, untouched Android. My brother switched from an iPhone 4 to a Moto X and loves it. It's like a broken record at this point but the general consensus in this thread is that either Nexus 5 or Moto X are the best devices you can get, and if you're on Verizon apparently the new Droids are pretty good too.

ThermoPhysical posted:drat. I was just going to post that. Still don't have the foggiest what's up with your battery life. Last time I checked my N7, I was at 56% battery left with 5hrs 40 min of screen on time. Chewing up 25% with only 1hr 20min of screen on time seems a bit poor.

hooah posted:Those of you with the Nexus wireless charger: will it only attract things with magnets, or will magnetic metal (e.g. iron, cobalt) work? I have a Nexus 4 that obviously doesn't have magnets in it, but I got a magnetic car mount for Christmas that came with a plate to put in your case/phone, and it works great (except for my phone's back not quite closing all the way, which might finally entice me to get a case). I saw that whoever wrote up this guide to making a wireless charging car mount updated it with the Nexus charger, and I'm curious if the same thing would work for my phone. Thoughts? The Nexus charger has magnets in it. The phone (N5) just has metal disks in it. I can stick the tip of a USB cable to my charger, for example, but not to my phone.

In more typical HTC news, All variants of the HTC One X are NOT going to get the promised Android 4.3 update because HTC is an awful, awful company that will never change. You can join us 2011 HTC phone owners with our abandoned Sensations, Amazes and Evo 3Ds in purgatory. https://twitter.com/htc_uk/status/421230721106460672

How do I get the new photos app to ignore some folders in Drive? I have things like college lectures and definitely not child pornography hidden away in those folders that don't belong side-by-side with my regular photo albums and pics from my camera.

Tunga posted:I'm not sure if this ever got answered but for some reason I was just reminded of your post when I put my phone on to charge. I think that helps. Seeing it again, I think a better question would have been "Does the N5 have magnets in it or just metal that can be magnetized?" If it's the latter than I could use the charger in my setup. I'd still like a way to file down something so that my N4's back fits nicely with that plate in it.

I don't think you're going to be able to use wireless charging with a metal plate stuck in between your phone and the charging coil.

Except the charging coil is in the backplate of the phone, and the added metal plate is between that and the battery. So as long as there aren't any contacts being blocked (or shorted), I should be fine.

I was worried too soon-- I just got the overnight date. I did order it in the middle of last week though and it took 2 days before its status changed to "building." I wonder if these things are selling like hot cakes? edit- I saw this advertised on the moto x webpage and have a question http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Skip-Moto-Retail-Packaging/dp/B00F6IMXN8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1389665810&sr=8-2&keywords=motorola+skip Could you program this to do another thing?
